(b)    Review and Dispute Procedures. If the Seller disagrees in whole or in part with the Initial Calculation, then within thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of the Initial Calculation, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser of such disagreement in writing (the “Notice of Disagreement”), setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement. Any such Notice of Disagreement shall include a copy of the Initial Calculation, marked to indicate those specific line items that are in dispute (the “Disputed Line Items”), and shall be accompanied by the Seller’s calculation of each of the Disputed Line Items and the Seller’s revised calculation of the Base Purchase Price, the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness, and/or the Transaction Fees, as applicable, and the resulting revised Closing Adjustment, it being understood that all items that are not Disputed Line Items shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event that the Seller does not provide a Notice of Disagreement within such thirty (30) calendar day period, the Seller shall be deemed to have accepted in full the Initial Calculation as prepared by the Purchaser, which shall be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and the Seller for all purposes hereunder. In the event that the Seller does provide a Notice of Disagreement within such thirty (30) calendar day period, all Disputed Line Items shall be resolved as provided below. The Purchaser and the Seller shall use all reasonable efforts for a period of thirty (30) calendar days following the delivery of the Notice of Disagreement (or such longer period as they may mutually agree in writing) to resolve any Disputed Line Items. If, at the end of such thirty (30) calendar day period (or such longer period as mutually agreed to, if applicable), the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to resolve such Disputed Line Items, then BDO USA LLP or, failing BDO USA LLP’s willingness to so serve, such other independent certified public accounting firm of recognized national standing as may be mutually selected in writing by the Purchaser and the Seller (the “Settlement Accountant”), shall resolve any remaining Disputed Line Items in the manner provided below.

The Settlement Accountant shall (i) limit its review to the materials submitted; and (ii) issue a written report as to the resolution of each Disputed Line Item, which report shall be accompanied by a certification by the Settlement Accountant to the effect that the Settlement Accountant’s determination was reached in accordance with the definitions as provided in this Agreement. The Settlement Accountant shall choose one of the party’s positions with respect to each specific Disputed Line Item, based solely on the written submissions by the Purchaser and the Seller and not by independent review, and neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall have any ex parte conversations or meetings with the Settlement Accountant without the prior written consent of the Seller (in the case of the Purchaser) and the Purchaser (in the case of the Seller). The Purchaser and the Seller shall each furnish to the Settlement Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to their respective calculations of the Base Purchase Price, the Closing Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness, and/or the Transaction Fees, and the resulting revised Closing Adjustment, as set forth in the Initial Calculation or in the Notice of Disagreement, respectively, and shall answer questions, as the Settlement Accountant may reasonably request. The determination of the Settlement Accountant shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto (absent manifest arithmetical error) and any party may seek to enforce such determinations in a court of competent jurisdiction. The Purchase Price set forth in the Initial Calculation, as adjusted following the resolution of any Disputed Line Items set forth in the Notice of Disagreement in accordance with this Section 4.1(b), shall be referred to herein as the final Purchase Price. The procedures set forth in this Section 4.1 for resolving disputes regarding matters covered by this Section 4.1 shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes.

(c)    Payment of Settlement Accountant Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountant shall be paid by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, based on the inverse of the percentage that the amounts that the Settlement Accountant determines in such party’s favor bears to the aggregate amount of the total Disputed Line Items (for example, should

the aggregate amounts in dispute with respect to each Disputed Line Item total $1,000 and the Settlement Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Seller’s position, sixty percent (60%) of the fees and expenses of the Settlement Accountant’s review would be paid by the Purchaser and forty percent (40%) of the Settlement Accountant’s fees and expenses would be paid by the Seller). Each of the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall be responsible for their own respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 4.1 (including any amount such party is required to pay the Settlement Accountant). Each of Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, agrees not to, and shall cause none of their Affiliates to, engage the Settlement Accountant or any of its Affiliates to perform any new services other than as Settlement Accountant pursuant hereto until the calculation of the Purchase Price has been finally determined pursuant hereto.

Section 4.2    Payment of Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a)    If the Purchase Price, as finally determined pursuant to Section 4.1, exceeds the Closing Purchase Price (such excess, the “Excess Amount”), then, within five (5) Business Days following the Determination Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the Excess Amount, together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate accruing from the Closing Date to the date of payment, and the Seller and the Purchaser shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver from the Closing Adjustment Escrow Account to the Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Seller, the full Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount.

(b)    If the Purchase Price, as finally determined pursuant to Section 4.1, is less than the Closing Purchase Price (such shortfall, the “Shortfall Amount”), then, within five (5) Business Days following the Determination Date, the Seller and the Purchaser shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to (x) deliver from the Closing Adjustment Escrow Account to the Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Purchaser, up to an amount equal to the Shortfall Amount (to the extent such amount is then remaining in the Closing Adjustment Escrow Account), together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate from the Closing Date to the date of payment, and (y) deliver any funds remaining in the Closing Adjustment Escrow Account following payment of such Shortfall Amount to the Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Seller. If the Shortfall Amount exceeds the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount, then, in addition to the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days following the Determination Date, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the amount by which the Shortfall Amount is in excess of the Closing Adjustment Escrow Amount, together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate accruing from the Closing Date to the date of payment.

(c)    For purposes of this Section 4.2, all computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. The amount of any Excess Amount or Shortfall Amount, as applicable, paid pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be deemed an adjustment to the Seller Amount to the extent such adjustment affects any amounts that are due to or from the Seller.

Section 9.3    Confidentiality. Following the Closing Date, the Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates to, treat and hold as confidential all of the Confidential Information of the Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable standard of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination or disclosure of such Confidential Information used with respect thereto prior to the execution of this Agreement and refrain from using any of the Confidential Information, except to satisfy any obligations pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, the obligation to defend against Claims brought by third parties in accordance with Article XII; provided, however, that the Seller may disclose such information under customary confidentiality obligations to its Representatives and employees who need to know such information.

In the event that the Seller is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any such Confidential Information, to the extent permitted to do so by Legal Requirements, the Seller will notify the Purchaser promptly of the request or requirement so that the Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.3. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Seller is, on

the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information, the Seller may disclose the requested information; provided, however, that, at the request of the Purchaser, the Seller will cooperate with the Purchaser’s attempts, if any, to limit the scope of disclosure or to obtain other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the Purchaser designates; provided, further that the Purchaser shall pay all of the Seller’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such cooperation.

(i)    the right and remedy to have such provision specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach may cause irreparable injury to each of the Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries and that money damages may not provide an adequate remedy to the Purchaser, the Company and its Subsidiaries; and

(ii)    the right and remedy to recover from the Seller all monetary damages suffered by the Purchaser, the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, as the result of any acts or omissions constituting a breach of this Section 9.5.

In the event that any covenant contained in Section 9.5 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic or other limitations permitted by applicable Legal Requirement in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic or other limitations permitted by

applicable Legal Requirement. The covenants contained in Section 9.5 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.6    R&W Insurance Policy. From and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall maintain the R&W Insurance Policy in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates to not) amend, modify, terminate or waive any waiver of subrogation applicable to the Seller or any of its Affiliates set forth in the R&W Insurance Policy, in each case in a manner adverse to the Seller or any of its Affiliates, without the prior written consent of the Seller.

Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns and related documents, and making its employees available, to the extent reasonably requested; provided, however, that neither the Seller nor the Purchaser (nor any of their Affiliates) shall be required to provide any portion of any Tax Return filed on an affiliated, combined, consolidated or unitary basis that does not relate to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 11.4    Transfer Taxes.

Section 12.2    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a)    All representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the Closing as follows: (i) representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.1 (Due Organization; Good Standing and Corporate Power); Section 6.2 (Title to Shares; Capitalization); Section 6.3 (Authority and Enforceability); the first sentence of Section 6.13 (Title to Assets); Section 6.19 (No Brokers or Finders); Section 6.20 (Tax Matters); Section 6.26 (Transaction with Affiliates, Stockholders, Officers, Directors and Others); Section 7.1 (Due Organization; Good Standing and Corporate Power); Section 7.2 (Authority and Enforceability); and Section 7.5 (Investment Representations) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive the Closing and continue until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to a Claim brought for a misrepresentation or breach of the Fundamental Representations; and (ii) all other representations and warranties shall survive the Closing and continue until the date which is twelve (12) months after the Closing.

(b)    No Claim (i) against the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(ii) or Section 12.1(b)(ii), as applicable, with respect to a breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement shall be brought or asserted after the date of expiration of the applicable statute(s) of limitations applicable thereto and (ii) against the Seller pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(iii) shall be brought or asserted after sixty (60) days after the date of expiration of the applicable statute(s) of limitations applicable thereto (each such date set forth in Section 12.2(a) and this Section 12.2(b), a “Survival Period”).

(c)    Unless a Claim is asserted during the applicable Survival Period, no Indemnifying Party will have any indemnification obligation or other liability, in respect of such Claim or in respect of any facts or circumstances underlying such Claim. If a Claim is asserted during the applicable Survival Period, such Claim will survive the expiration of the Survival Period, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for indemnification of such Claim, until final resolution of such Claim.

Section 12.3    Deductible Amount; Limitations on Recovery.

(a)    The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to exercise any indemnification rights for any Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(i), and the Seller Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to exercise any indemnification rights for any Losses or for which the Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1(b)(i), unless and until the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be have incurred Losses for which they are entitled to indemnification hereunder in excess of $150,000 (the “Deductible Amount”), after which, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, shall be entitled to indemnification for any such Losses only in excess of the Deductible Amount; provided, that the Deductible Amount above shall not be applicable to Claims for indemnification with respect to breaches of (i) any representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.23 (Compliance with Educational Laws) or (ii) any Fundamental Representation.

(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision herein or elsewhere to the contrary:

(i)    Except as set forth in the immediately succeeding sentence, the aggregate amount of Losses recoverable hereunder by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(i) (other than Claims for indemnification with respect to breaches of any Fundamental Representation) shall be satisfied exclusively from the Indemnification Escrow Account, shall not exceed $150,000 (the “Reps and Warranties Escrow Amount”), and on the date that the amount of Losses recoverable hereunder for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(i) (other than Claims for indemnification with respect to breaches of any Fundamental Representation) reaches the Reps and Warranties Escrow Amount, the Seller shall have no further liability with respect to the matters set forth in Section 12.1(a)(i), it being understood that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ sole recourse therefor is recovery, if any, under the R&W Insurance Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of funds remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Account shall remain available for Claims related to the matters set forth in Section 12.1(a) other than Section 12.1(a)(i) (such amount, the “Specific Indemnity Escrow Amount”).

(ii)    The amount of Losses that any Indemnified Party may recover with respect to any Claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall be offset, on a dollar for dollar basis, against any amounts received by such Indemnified Party in respect of the Losses forming the basis of such Claim for recovery from a third party pursuant to any indemnification or other similar right or any

applicable insurance policy. Each party hereby agrees, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, to use commercially reasonable efforts to claim for and obtain recovery of any such available insurance, indemnification, contribution or similar payment. If any Indemnified Party receives such amount from such third party subsequent to a recovery for indemnification under this Agreement, the applicable Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties will promptly remit such offset amount to the indemnifying parties hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Purchaser Indemnified Party will not be required to refund amounts actually received from an insurer under the R&W Insurance Policy to the extent such Purchaser Indemnified Party’s total Losses exceeded the limits of liability under such insurance policy.

(iii)    The Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, cancel or terminate prior to the end of their then current term any insurance policies (including any directors’ and officers’ liability coverage) the premiums for which have been paid in full as of the Closing or are reserved for in the final determination of the Closing Working Capital. The applicable Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the Company’s rights thereunder to the extent of payments made by such Indemnifying Party.

(iv)    The Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, against or reimburse any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, for any Losses to the extent any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, has been indemnified or reimbursed for such amount under any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Seller, on the one hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, in respect of the same subject matter.

(c)    None of the limitations or exceptions set forth in this Article XII, including any Survival Periods with respect to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, shall in any way limit or modify the ability of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (i) to make claims under or recover under the R&W Insurance Policy or (ii) to recover in the event of a Claim based on Fraud in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 12.4    Notice of Claims.

(a)    Any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, within the applicable Survival Period provided for in Section 12.2, give (i) to the Purchaser, in the case of indemnification sought by any Seller Indemnified Party or (ii) to the Seller, in the case of indemnification sought by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise, or that could reasonably be expected to give rise, to the Claim for indemnification hereunder that is the subject of the Claim Notice. The Claim Notice shall include (if and to the extent then known) the amount such Claim and a reference to the provision or provisions of this Agreement upon which such Claim is based. A Claim Notice shall be given promptly following the Indemnified Party’s determination that facts or events are reasonably expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder; provided, that a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or elsewhere to the contrary, the failure to give such written notice shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent it shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure; provided, that such Claim Notice has been delivered within the applicable Survival Period for such Claim, as set forth in Section 12.2.

(b)    An Indemnifying Party (acting through the Purchaser, in the case of indemnification sought by any Seller Indemnified Party, and acting through the Seller, in the case of indemnification sought by any Purchaser Indemnified Party) shall have thirty (30) calendar days after the giving of any proper Claim Notice pursuant hereto to (i) agree to the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice and to pay or cause to be paid such amount to such Indemnified Party in immediately available funds or (ii) provide such Indemnified Party with written notice that it disagrees with the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice (the “Dispute Notice”). For a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the giving of any Dispute Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the matter. In the event that the controversy is not resolved within thirty (30) calendar days after the date the Dispute Notice is given, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party may, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XII, thereupon submit such dispute to the applicable court or courts having jurisdiction pursuant to Section 14.5. If the Indemnifying Party agrees to the Claim Notice pursuant to clause (i) above or fails to provide a timely Dispute Notice pursuant to clause (ii) above, then (A) if the Indemnified Party is a Purchaser Indemnified Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XII, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive from the Indemnification Escrow Account the amount set forth in the Claim Notice, and the Seller and the Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) execute joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to release such amount (up to the maximum amount contained in the Indemnification Escrow Account) to such Purchaser Indemnified Party, and then, to the extent such Claim is not otherwise covered under the R&W Insurance Policy, using its own funds, the Seller shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) pay the Purchaser Indemnified Party the amount set forth in the Claim Notice in excess of the Indemnification Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (B) if the Indemnified Party is a Seller Indemnified Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article XII, the Purchaser shall, using its own funds, promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) pay the Seller Indemnified Party the amount set forth in the Claim Notice by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(c)    Notwithstanding Sections 12.4(a) or 12.4(b), the provisions of this Section 12.4 shall not apply in the case of a Claim Notice provided in connection with a Third Party Claim, which claims shall be governed by Section 12.5.

(d)    Following the delivery of a Claim Notice by a Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Purchaser shall provide the Seller with reasonable access to the Company’s books and Records, and reasonable access (including electronically) to such employees or personnel of the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Purchaser during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, as the Seller may reasonably require for the purposes of reviewing the Claim Notice and resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or inquiries raised in the Claim Notice and shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond promptly, in good faith, and as fully and accurately as reasonably possible to inquiries from the Seller related to the foregoing.

Section 12.5    Third Party Claims. In the event that an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a Tax Audit or other third party Claim which such Indemnified Party believes may result in a Claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the following shall apply:

(a)    Such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Seller (in the case of indemnification sought by a Purchaser Indemnified Party) or the Purchaser (in the case of indemnification sought by a Seller Indemnified Party), as the case may be, of such Third Party Claim (the “Third Party Claim Notice”) within the Survival Period provided for in Section 12.2. The Third Party Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts giving rise or that could reasonably be expected to give rise to

the Claim for indemnification hereunder that is the subject of the Third Party Claim Notice, the amount and the method of computation of the amount of such Claim, a reference to the provision of this Agreement upon which such Claim is based and all material documentation relevant to the Claim described in the Third Party Claim Notice (to the extent not previously provided under this Section 12.5(a)). A Third Party Claim Notice shall be given promptly following such Indemnified Party’s determination of facts or events that are reasonably expected to give rise to a Claim for indemnification hereunder; provided, that in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced. No delay in notifying such Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall affect an Indemnified Party’s rights, unless such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby; provided, that such Third Party Claim Notice has been delivered within the applicable Survival Period for such Claim, as set forth in Section 12.2.

(b)    Subject to the provisions hereof, the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Indemnified Party shall have the right to elect to assume and maintain control the defense and settlement (a) of any Third Party Claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) by giving written notice of such election within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Third Party Claim Notice; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume and maintain control of the defense of the Third Party Claim if such Claim: (i) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or the Company; (ii) is asserted by or on behalf of a Governmental Entity or an Educational Agency; (iii) involves a claim that, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend; (iv) results in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Claim; or (v) involves a claim related to matters set forth in Section 12.1(a)(vii). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of the Third Party Claim within such forty-five (45) day period or is not permitted to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume and maintain control of the defense of the Third Party Claim.

(c)    The Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if the following are satisfied: the terms of such settlement provide for (i) no obligation of any Indemnified Party other than the payment of money, (ii) no admission of wrongdoing, and (iii) a general release without exceptions from all liability in favor of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to any entry of judgment without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(d)    If the Indemnifying Party (i) does not so assume control of the defense of a Third Party Claim that it is permitted to assume under this Section 12.5, or (ii) is not entitled under Section 12.5(b) to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense and the Indemnified Party may enter into any compromise or settlement that possesses the characteristics described in Section 12.5(c)(i), (ii) and (iii) on its behalf that is dispositive of the matter involved.

(e)    The party controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall (i) permit the other party (the “Non-Controlling Party”) to participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim, (ii) conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim with reasonable diligence and keep the Non-Controlling Party reasonably informed of material developments in such Third Party Claim at all material stages thereof, (iii) promptly submit to the Non-Controlling Party copies of all material pleadings, responsive pleadings, motions and other similar legal documents and papers

received or filed in connection therewith, and (iv) permit the Non-Controlling Party and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review all material legal papers to be submitted prior to their submission and consider in good faith any comments from the Non-Controlling Party and its counsel thereto so long as review and submission of comments does not adversely affect the Controlling Party’s ability to comply with deadlines associated with any Proceeding in which the Third Party Claim is pending.

Section 12.6    Exclusive Remedy. Except for the remedies (i) of specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief to the extent expressly permitted in Section 14.14 or in the Nondisclosure Agreement and (ii) for Fraud, the remedies in this Article XII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection herewith, in each case, that arise after the Closing for any and all Claims arising under, out of, or relating to this Agreement (or any other certificate delivered in connection herewith) and the transactions contemplated hereby, and no Person will have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, it being agreed that all of such other remedies, entitlements and recourse are expressly waived and released by the parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 12.7    Disbursements from Indemnification Escrow Account.

(a)    If any Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover any amounts from the Indemnification Escrow Account pursuant to this Agreement and funds then remain on deposit in the Indemnification Escrow Account, the Purchaser and the Seller shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver such amounts to such Purchaser Indemnified Party (or any Person designated by such Purchaser Indemnified Party).

(b)    If, on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Initial Release Date”), there are funds remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Account, then the Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Reps and Warranties Escrow Amount minus the aggregate amount distributed from the Indemnification Escrow Account for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts designated in writing by the Seller; provided, however, that if prior to the Initial Release Date, the Seller has received one or more notices regarding indemnification Claims properly made under this Agreement for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(i) that are unresolved on the Initial Release Date, then an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the aggregate Losses claimed in, and reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with, each such unresolved Claim, or (ii) the portion of the Reps and Warranty Escrow Amount remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Account, shall continue to be held by the Escrow Agent in the Indemnification Escrow Account to satisfy such Claims and any other amounts associated therewith that are payable pursuant to this Article XII; and, provided further, from time to time promptly after final resolution of each such Claim, the Seller and the Purchaser will authorize the Escrow Agent to disburse the portion of the Reps and Warranty Escrow Amount held for such resolved Claim to the Seller in the same manner described in this Section 12.7(b). The Purchaser and the Seller shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver any funds pursuant to this Section 12.7(b).

(c)    If, on the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Escrow Termination Date”), there are funds remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Account, then the Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Specific Indemnity Escrow Amount minus the aggregate amount distributed from the Indemnification Escrow Account for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1(a) other than Section 12.1(a)(i) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts

designated in writing by the Seller; provided, however, that if prior to the Escrow Termination Date, the Seller has received one or more notices regarding indemnification Claims properly made under this Agreement for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.1(a) other than Section 12.1(a)(i) that are unresolved on the Escrow Termination Date, then an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the aggregate Losses claimed in, and reasonably expected to be incurred in connection with, each such unresolved Claim, or (ii) the portion of the Specific Indemnity Escrow Amount remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Account, shall continue to be held by the Escrow Agent in the Indemnification Escrow Account to satisfy such Claims and any other amounts associated therewith that are payable pursuant to this Article XII; and, provided further, from time to time promptly after final resolution of each such Claim, the Seller and the Purchaser will authorize the Escrow Agent to disburse the portion of the Specific Indemnity Escrow Amount held for such resolved Claim to the Seller in the same manner described in this Section 12.7(c). The Purchaser and the Seller shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to deliver any funds pursuant to this Section 12.7(c).

This Agreement (including the provisions of Article XII) shall not create or be deemed to create or permit any personal liability or obligation on the part of any direct or indirect stockholder, member or partner of the Seller or the Purchaser or any officer, director, manager, employee, agent, representative or investor of any party hereto.

Section 14.8    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except with respect to the provisions of Article XII, which shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, no provision of this Agreement is intended to benefit, or be enforceable by, any Person other than the signatories hereto.

Section 14.9    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 14.10    Schedules and Exhibits. The parties hereto agree that the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto form an integral part of this Agreement and are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

Section 14.11    Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein (including the Nondisclosure Agreement) contain the complete agreement between the parties hereto and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page by electronic transmission (including via .pdf) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.

Section 14.13    Mutual Drafting. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement; accordingly, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted collectively by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 14.14    Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Document are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, including if the parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other applicable remedies at law or in equity, the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, without proof of damages, to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and any Transaction Document. If any party brings any action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party, the party bringing such action may unilaterally extend the Outside Date (notwithstanding the termination provisions of Section 13.1), so long as the party bringing such action is actively seeking a court order for an injunction or injunctions or to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The parties hereto further agree that (A) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 14.14, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 14.14 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (B) nothing set forth in this Section 14.14 shall require any party hereto to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any Proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 14.14 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article XIII.

Section 14.15    Publicity. No public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by a party hereto without the prior consent of the Purchaser and the Seller (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except such release or announcement as may be required by any Legal Requirement in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, allow the other party or parties reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.
